    LA Times: Shaq to win MVP

    Well, the New York Times selected Nash and D'Antoni... and that is as East Coast as one gets. I did not post the entire article, just the COY and MVP parts. They also selected Colangelo for executive. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/17/sports/basketball/17hoops.html? Award Going to Top...

    Orange Uniforms

    On a positive note, they wore the orange uniforms on All Star Weekend, (Saturday night), and had a very good showing. I like them, however, if they were to go on a losing streak while clad in orange, I would have to rescind my approval.

    leandro has changed

    Sean Deveney in his power rankings has also noticed the improvement in Leandro. http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/3514564 1. Suns 2nd (+1) 1st/4th More good news, as if the Suns needed it: Leandro Barbosa is fast becoming a useful reserve. Since the All-Star break, he has averaged...

    Marion quietly goes about doing whatever the Suns ask of him

    I too like Shawn. It seems to me that every time I watch him I find something else to appreciate in his game. In addition to that, he seems to have fun. My favourite so far this year was when Hunter was shooting free throws in the Nets game and missed one really badly. The cameras showed the...

    Marbury's foul

    I thought flagrants were called in two ways. 1. Going for the body and not making an obvious play on the ball. 2. A hit above the shoulders. Either way it seems to me it should have been a flagrant. The defense that Marbury tried to hold Nash up after clobbering him in the head, should not...

    Hardaway: Old Suns team didn't buy into D'Antoni's system

    Do you think they are both now kicking themselves? If only they had bought into the system, they could be in a winning situation. The real question is did they have the skills to operate in this team system, or are their talents better suited to another style? I put that as a question because...

    Marbury's foul

    If the Suns really think there was a flagrant foul that was missed, I believe there is some mechanism in place to appeal the call. If the flagrant is reviewed and then assessed, the flagrant is added to the players total. A combination of flagrant 1's and 2's can result in a players suspension...

    S.I. article on the suns

    sunsfn, Thank you for posting, an interesting read that summed up all points of view on the Suns and made no mad proclamaitions. Yes they are good. not sure about post season. their style is different, could be good, could be bad, basically wait and see. The Skiles quote was...

    Trade?

    Best, played in Dallas last year and was to be Nash's backup. He did not get much playing time and Daniel's ended up playing backup in the playoffs as Best was left off the playoff roster. He would have some experience backing up Nash, but if he could not cut it in Dallas, how would he do...

    No Bryant, no problem for Lakers

    I agree with you BIM, but I am always surprised by the number of people who vote in these polls, 84,000+??? (Yes, I know, I had to vote to see the number) I would, however, prefer to be in the situation whereby they were not so reliant upon one player. I hope the bench play improves and the...

    Eddie House and Kendall Gill waived!

    But if the Suns got Gill they may not be the youngest team any longer, per D'Antoni, he may not have the, "youngest team fallback line". Besides that, I thought that was Bo's job description, the elder locker-room statesman.

    How Would You Try To Beat The Suns?

    After reading your comments, I am not sure if this has any validity, but here goes. In most pregame shows where the announcers are from the opposing team, the most common point to controlling the game is, "Stop - Steve - Nash". If you stop Nash, the offense slows and allows for the other...

    Just How Good Is This Team?

    I don't think we will really know how good the team is until the All Star break. There is definitly a feeling about this team. Do you not get excited when you read the Sportsline power rankings and see this quote, "The Phoenix Suns are developing an aura saved for the truly special teams"...

    Minor questiion from a new poster

    Thank you ASUCHRIS for the warm welcome. You seem to be keeping busy as the official, "Greeter of the Graveyard Shift Arriving Newbies". I am not really a poster, as my name says, more of a reader. No doubt as the season progresses I will feel more at ease joining in the discussions. I may...

    Minor questiion from a new poster

    Hello All, You know the drill, long time reader, first time poster with a small query.. Who is, (are) the Suns Captain(s)? I thought that Shawn was the only team captain and then I saw a picture of him with Nash at the beginning of the Utah game doing the ref/opposing team captains...
